1. Chantaje (Blackmail)
Shakira, Maluma
Cuando estás bien te alejas de mí
Te sientes sola y siempre estoy ahí
Es una guerra de toma y dame
Pues dame de eso que tienes ahí
When you're good, you walk away from me
You feel alone and I'm always there
It's a war of take and give
Then give me what you got there

Qué más quieres de mí
Si el pasado está a prueba de tu amor

And I don't have the courage
To escape forever from the pain

Supe que no eras para mí
Seguro tenías a alguien que no lo ibas a dejar ir

I knew that you weren't for me
Sure you had someone that you weren't going to let go
But when I saw you, I swear to you that I decided

Selena Gomez

Once and for all
I am stronger alone

And the thing continued like this

Without concern in my heart
I continue seeing that moment
It vanished, it disappeared

I stopped believing in love
I stopped feeling

Sabes que amarme siempre ha sido solo un juego
Dices te quiero y no te creo

You say I love you and I don't believe you
Because ours has never been good love
I only know how to suffer

Baby, it makes me want to have you

1. Vivir Mi Vida (Live My Life)
Marc Anthony
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
Vivir mi vida, la-la-la-la
Voy a reír, voy a gozar
Vivir mi vida, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to enjoy
Live my life, la-la-la-la
Marc Anthony’s “Vivir Mi Vida” is a jubilant anthem that shouts one simple message: live your life now! The lyrics turn every setback into a reason to smile, reminding us that rain can cleanse old wounds and even a single drop of hope can end a drought of sadness. With the infectious refrain “voy a reír, voy a bailar” (“I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance”), the song invites listeners to trade tears for laughter, fear for celebration, and regrets for forward motion. By urging us to seize the moment, listen to our inner voice, and keep moving ahead without looking back, “Vivir Mi Vida” transforms pain into rhythm and everyday life into a joyful fiesta, making it both a personal pep-talk and a universal call to dance through whatever comes our way.

Now I can give
A little piece to each girl, only a little piece

Cuando tú me miras se me sube el corazón
Y en un silencio tu mirada dice mil palabras

When you look at me, my heart goes up
And in silence your gaze says a thousand words
The night in which I beg you not to let the sun rise

Dime si es verdad
Me dijeron que te estas casando

I have to tell you this

That I already found everything

Because everyone wants to try you

¿Cómo tú te llamas? Yo no sé
¿De dónde llegaste? Ni pregunté
Lo único que sé, es que quiero con usted

Where did you come from? I didn't even ask
The only thing that I know is that I want with you
To stay with you until dawn

Light the night that heart
Disillusioned, sometimes mistreated

To think how I think about you is a sin
To look how I look at you is forbidden
To touch you how I want is a crime

Bring me the alcohol that takes away the pain
Today let's join the moon and the sun

I'm not going to lose
I don't want to be a guy from the other side
